Hello Best Buy customer Heaeing! I think that it is really caring of you to be concerned of your mother's needs regarding her hearing issues. Someone "already" provided an answer to your question and, although I am sure that they were well intentioned, their indication of this TV not being Bluetooth enabled (although correct) there are "other" options for you to enable your mother (and others!) to be able to use headphones--both Bluethooth and wired ones! I'm happy that I could submit this response only after eight (8) hours of you posting your question as this is a really great TV set! I realize that you are inquiring about how to use Bluetooth headphones; however, did you ever consider using a 3.5mm male to female "coiled" extension cable which would remain plugged into the back of the TV at all times and you could have that extension cable extending from below the TV somewhere between both legs so that there is no chance of it pulling on any of those legs. If you use "wired" headphones like I do, you could always add an "additional" extension to that if anyone using the headphones were sitting further away. Of course, they would have to be careful not to trip on the extension cable(s) at all times! Whenever your mother wants only sound to come out of the headphones, you can show her how to go into MENU => AUDIO => TV SPEAKERS => select "ON" if you want the sound to be heard from the TV's external speakers or she can select "AUTO" so that sound can "only" be heard through the headphones. This way it would not be necessary to keep plugging in the headphones and removing same each time that you wanted to change the audio functionality. Again, you "did" ask if this TV was Bluetooth compatible so I spent some time trying to find an answer for you. I did a did GOOGLE and YouTube.com searches for: "How to Connect Bluetooth Wireless Headphones to any TV." As I indicated above, this TV (a lot of TVs don't have this feature any more!) has a 3.5mm female audio out jack. You can incorporate/connect a 3.5mm male Bluetooth "TRANSMITTER" ("NOT" a Bluetooth "RECEIVER" please!) and plug it into this 3.5mm female audio out jack on the back of the TV. I've never used Bluetooth or wireless headphones; however, the YouTube videos are short in length (and there are several different videos which you can choose to review) and they provide guidance. Also, Best Buy sells a 3.5mm male Bluetooth transmitter on their website and I've provided an image of it below in the recommended Best Buy products section. Perhaps, this product comes with instructions for set up or, perhaps, the YouTube videos might help you or, perhaps, someone at Insignia Products tech support or a home theater Best Buy sales associate might tell you how to get everything to work in sync. Insignia Tech support representatives are available at 1-877-467-4289 from 8:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. 7 days per week. Your question Best Buy customer Heaeing I am sure will not only help your mother, but also other Best Buy customers as not everyone likes having extra wires to deal with as is the case with wired headphones. I also provided an image of a "coiled" 3.5mm male to female extension which neatly tucks out of the way (I'm not endorsing any brand here!) and another "straight" 3.5mm male to female extension cable (the length is the user's choice!) so that a person using wired headphones can sit further away. I know that you only asked about Bluetooth connectivity, but it might help others thinking about using "wired" headphones.
I would recommend:

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This model is not Bluetooth enabled.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No I don’t believe this tv has Bluetooth, however I would recommend buying a headset than can connect using standard vga audio or 3.5mm audio cord. That’s what I did for my mom and it works great she can hear the tv without the neighbors hearing also.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
